Stock prices rise as professionals drive gains in railroad and copper shares
New York August 24 The stock market showed a general tilt to higher prices despite dull trading and political tension. Gould group led gains with Missouri Pacific and Kansas and Texas, lifting industrials and utilities as Amalgamated Copper, Smelting, Sugar, Consolidated Gas and Brooklyn Transit advanced.
